[Logical Printers 1-8]: String Before and String After

20.4. String Before and String After

The data manipulation provided in “string before” and “string after” for a given logical printer make it possible to send printer control commands before and after the actual data stream in the print job. Examples of how these manipulations are used are found in the chapter on “Processing Facilities” [page 117].

Each logical printer can have one “string before” and one “string after”. The maximum number of “Encoded Bytes” you can use in “String Before” and “String After” depends on the identification number of the logical printer involved as shown below. See the appendix on “String Syntax” [page 239] for an explanation of “Encoded Bytes”.

In release level 1071 the number of characters in “String After” was reduced from 100 to 50 for logical printers 2-8 in order to increase the number of characters available for “String Before”, “String After” definitions made under previous releases using more than 50 characters will be truncated to 50 characters when upgrading.
